This Blood Bank and Transfusion Medicine Fellowship Program provides experience in all aspects of blood banking in a tertiary care hospital which houses a multi-organ transplant center, including bone marrow transplantation, a large hematology/oncology service and an extensive surgical program. The blood bank provides over 100,000 units of blood and components annually, and includes an AABB-accredited Reference Laboratory. The Apheresis Procedures Unit affords the candidate excellent experience in therapeutic apheresis, HPC collection and LDL apheresis. The program also provides for experience in perinatal transfusion, coagulation, histocompatibility testing, and HPC processing. Exposure to all aspects of blood procurement is provided through the cooperative participation of the American Red Cross Southeastern Michigan Blood Services. Graded assumption of responsibility for medical, administrative and instructional activities by the fellow is encouraged. Research opportunities are provided commensurate with the fellow's interest and experience.
